Depth of field is controlled by f/stop

Use a higher f number (such as f/20) to get more depth of field!. You need a tripod especially in low light because the shutter will be open longer!.

Conversely a lower f/number will blur the backgroud!. If you took that same picture at f/1!.8 then the background would be blurry!.

That photo was not taken with a wide-angle lens!. The FOV is only about 30 degrees!. It was taken on a tripod with a high f/stop and about a 28 mm lensWww@QuestionHome@Com

Well, it looks like HDRI ( High Dynamic Range Imaging ) to me!. To do this, you'll have to take a series of exposures, and complete the construction of the image in Photo-Shop, here's an article about it:

HDRI imaging looks really nice in most photographs!. A really desired effect in photography!. It's a little complicating, but i imagine you can do this!. It's obviously a wide angle lens, but i imagine there's some post processing going on here!. I read your update!. Even if this wasn't HDRI, it still looks processed to me!. It could have been a regular photograph, but most likely the colors in the background etc were enhanced in PhotoshopWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes it has been tweaked in Photoshop, but the basis of the photo is that it was taken with a wide angle lens!. The photographer moved in close to the nearby flowers to show a reference of scale and depth!. also, a small aperture was set for good depth of field!. This is a very good technique to use with a wide angle lens, but NOT with human subjects as facial features will be distorted!.

This shot was taken with the lens closed down to the smallest aperature ( e!.g!. f 22 ) for the greatest depth of field!. shorter focal length lenses also have greater depth of field!. The composition helped to give the feel of depth!. The sky may have been photoshopped ( it has a little of an HDR feel) or it may be the lighting through a polarizer!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Honestly, it's much less of editing and MORE of your photo-taking skills!. You have to experiment with the angles you take your photos!. In order to take a photo like the one in the link; place the camera near yr tummy, facing slightly upwards!. You get what I mean!? So then yr photo seems very stretched and never-ending!. It's ALL about the angles and for added effect; darken your picture to make it more crisp and solid!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well you can get a free photoshop trial download on adobe's website just google that!. Here's what you can do!. Lower the contrast!.!.!.how!? idk!. Or with the part of an image u want bigger just use a selection tool and select that part of the photograph then just make it larger!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's done using a wide angle lens and using a forground element (the flowers) that loom large close to camera but recede far into the distance, a function of the wide angle lens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Digital enhancements

Fish-eye lens or Photoshop filter (Sphere, I think)
White paint brush on most of horizon for glow effect
Gradient darkening of sky, overlay or mask!.
High contrast on ground

Narrow aperture (big F/number!.) produces good depth of field!. If you're asking about the sky, effect, I dunno, maybe a contrast filter!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

slow capturing the longer the lense is open the more detailed it isWww@QuestionHome@Com

photoshop elements 6 has it in the editing with the blue tint in the effects sectionWww@QuestionHome@Com
